Ways to Support CAE

If a vibrant local food system rooted in our rural communities is important to you, there are many ways you can support CAE:
 

  • SHARE YOUR ENTHUSIASM WITH A FRIEND! You are the best-qualified person to speak to why this work matters to you.
     
  • BUY One-Of-A-Kind Items. We've partnered with local artists to create unique pieces of art that showcase CAE. Wear your support with a custom CAE neck warmer or have your morning coffee out of a handmade CAE tumbler. 
     
  • MAKE A RECURRING GIFT. Monthly gifts of every size can have a lasting impact on our programs.
     
  • SUPPORT OUR PARTNERS. We cannot do what we do without an amazing network of community-based partners who also operate in the greater Hardwick region. Please consider supporting them directly:

  • GIVE A GIFT OF CASH. The easiest and most secure way to support CAE is with a tax-deductible cash donation. Make a secure one-time or recurring gift online or send cash/check to: 
          The Center for an Agricultural Economy
          PO Box 422, Hardwick, VT, 05843 

          Donate Online

  • DONATE STOCK. If you have holdings in stock, you can donate them to CAE> Please let us know if you would like to pursue making a gift of stock. 
     
  • REMEMBER CAE IN YOUR WILL OR ESTATE PLAN. Simply name CAE as a beneficiary in your will or estate plan to, upon your passing, receive money or an asset. 
     
  • GIVE FROM YOUR IRA. CAE will accept gifted IRA's remainder or distributions. If you are 70 1/2 or older, you can make a tax-free distribution from your traditional or Roth IRA to CAE. 
     
  • GIVE A CHARITABLE GIFT ANNUITY. A charitable gift annuity with CAE is a gift that can provide you and/or another beneficiary with a stable income for life. CAE will only proceed with Charitable Gift Annuities (CGA) in partnership with the Vermont Community Foundation (VCF). 
    ​​​​​​
  • GIFTS OF PERSONAL PROPERTY OR REAL ESTATE. CAE will consider accepting some gifts of personal property or real estate. 
     

We honor the people and stories of the land on which we live and work. We honor the land as our partner and teacher. CAE exists on unceded land of the Abenaki People. Please consider learning the story of the land you are on, including indigenous stewardship, past and present.
